BETHLEHEM, Pa. – Showing excellence in the classroom, senior middle blocker Claire Nagelhout was named an Academic All-Patriot League selection on Friday afternoon, announced by the league office. With the honor, Nagelhout becomes the 11th straight Mountain Hawk to earn the award dating back to 2011.

Nagelhout joins six other Patriot League student-athletes on the elite list. In order to be eligible, the student-athlete must have a cumulative grade point average of 3.20 or higher. The team is voted on by sports information directors around the Patriot League.
